Abstract
There is provided a computer implemented method of extracting information about a person. Incoming sensor signals for monitoring people within a field of view of a sensor system are received and processed. In response to detecting a person located within a notification region, an output device outputs a notification to the detected person. Processing of the incoming sensor signals continues in order to monitor behaviour patterns of the person and determine from his behaviour patterns whether he is currently in a consenting or non-consenting state. An extraction function attempts to extract information about the person irrespective of his determined state. A sharing function determines whether or not to share an extracted piece of information about the person with a receiving entity in accordance with his determined state, the information not being shared unless and until it is subsequently determined that the person is in the consenting state.
